Used docker compose for metabase and postgres images.
Managed to build successfully. Went through the Metabase setup, no hitches.
However, I can't seem to get past the sign in page. Each time I enter the correct username and password I used at the setup stage, it still returns me to the sign in page.
Checking the docker logs, I keep seeing this error on sign in attempts:
2022-09-24 23:24:31,502 DEBUG middleware.log :: GET /api/user/current 401 320.3 µs (0 DB calls)
"Unauthenticated"
Not sure what could be wrong?
Turns out the answer had nothing at all to do with Metabase or Docker, but with my Nginx configuration
Problem was in my location block. Initial settings were:
location / {
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto https;
proxy_pass http://localhost:<some_port>; # <- put correct port
}
Changed them to
location / {
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme; # <- *changed to this*
proxy_pass http://localhost:<some_port>; # <- put correct port
proxy_http_version 1.1; # <- *add this*
}
...and the error was gone: can log in now.
